A rare and stunning 31.86-carat fancy vivid orangy-pink diamond, known as “The Desert Rose,” is expected to fetch between USD $5–$7 million when it goes under the hammer at Sotheby’s upcoming auction in Abu Dhabi. The event, part of Abu Dhabi Collectors’ Week, will take place from 2 to 5 December at The St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort and will feature luxury items including high jewellery, rare watches, collector cars, and exclusive real estate.

The Desert Rose is the largest diamond of its kind ever graded, making it a true masterpiece in the world of rare gems. First unveiled at Sotheby’s “Beyond: The World’s Rarest Diamonds” exhibition earlier this year, the pear-shaped gem showcases an extraordinary orangy-pink hue that has captivated collectors worldwide.

Timed alongside major regional events like the Formula 1 Grand Prix, Abu Dhabi Finance Week, and the Milken Institute Middle East and Africa Summit 2025, Sotheby’s auction is set to draw a global audience of luxury buyers and investors. The sale also reflects the growing prominence of the Middle East as a hub for art, culture, and high-value collectibles, with Saadiyat Island home to icons like the Louvre Abu Dhabi and the soon-to-open Guggenheim Abu Dhabi.
